Psalm 95*

1  O come, let us sing unto the Lord:

aLet us make a joyful noise to bthe rock of our salvation.

2  Let us †come before his presence with thanksgiving,

And amake a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

3  For cthe Lord is a great God,

And a great King ccabove all gods.

4  †In his hand are the deep places of the earth:

||The dstrength of the hills is his also.

5  †The sea is his, and ehe made it:

And his hands formed ethe dry land.

6  O come, let us fworship and gbow down:

Let us hkneel before the Lord iour maker.

7  For he is our God;

And we are kthe people of his pasture, and lthe sheep of his hand.

mTo day if ye will nhear his voice,

8  oHarden not your heart, pas in the †provocation,

And as in the day of qtemptation in the wilderness:

9  When your fathers nqtempted me,

Proved me, and saw rmy work.

10  sForty years long was I tgrieved with this generation,

And said, It is a people that do err in their heart,

And they have not known my ways:

11  Unto whom uI sware in my wrath

†That they should not enter into my xrest.

Psalm 96*

1  acO sing unto the Lord ba new song:

cSing unto the Lord, all the earth.

2  Sing unto the Lord, bless his name;

Shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3  Declare his glory among the heathen,

His wonders among all people.

4  dFor the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised:

He is to be feared above all gods.

5  For all the gods of the nations are idols:

But the Lord made the heavens.

6  Honour and majesty are before him:

eStrength and ebeauty are in his sanctuary.

7  Give unto the Lord, O ye fkindreds of the people,

cGive unto the Lord glory and strength.

8  cGive unto the Lord the glory †due unto his name:

Bring gan offering, and come into hhis courts.

9  O worship the Lord ||in the beauty of holiness:

hhFear before him, all the earth.

10  Say among the heathen that ithe Lord reigneth:

iThe world also shall be established that it shall not be moved:

jHe shall judge the people krighteously.

11  Let the heavens rejoice, and llet the earth be glad;

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12  mLet the field be joyful, and all that is therein:

Then shall all the trees of the wood nrejoice

13  Before the Lord: for he cometh,

For jhe cometh to judge the earth:

cHe shall judge the world with righteousness,

And the people with his truth.

Psalm 97

1  aThe Lord reigneth; blet the earth rejoice;

Let the †multitude of cisles be glad thereof.

2  dClouds and ddarkness are round about him:

eRighteousness and judgment are the ||ehabitation of his throne.

3  fA fire goeth before him,

And burneth up his enemies round about.

4  gHis lightnings enlightened the world:

The earth saw, and trembled.

5  hThe hills melted ilike wax at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of kthe Lord of the whole earth.

6  lThe heavens declare his righteousness,

And all the people see his glory.

7  Confounded be all they that serve mgraven images,

That boast themselves of nidols:

oWorship him, all ye gods.

8  Zion heard, and pwas glad;

And pthe daughters of Judah rejoiced

Because of thy judgments, O Lord.

9  For thou, Lord, art qhigh above all the earth:

Thou art exalted far rabove all gods.

10  Ye that love the Lord, shate evil:

tHe preserveth the souls of uhis saints;

vHe delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11  wLight is sown for the righteous,

And gladness for xthe upright in heart.

12  yRejoice in the Lord, ye righteous;

zAnd give thanks ||at the remembrance of his holiness.
